| hackdorte@20009 | 1 **Automake** is a tool for automatically generating `Makefile.in's from files |
| hackdorte@20009 | 2 called `Makefile.am'. The goal of Automake is to remove the burden of Makefile |
| hackdorte@20009 | 3 maintenance from the back of the individual GNU maintainer (and put it on the |
| hackdorte@20009 | 4 back of the Automake maintainer). |

| hackdorte@20009 | 6 The `Makefile.am' is basically a series of `make' macro definitions (with |
| hackdorte@20009 | 7 rules being thrown in occasionally). The generated `Makefile.in's are |
| hackdorte@20009 | 8 compliant with the GNU Makefile standards. |
